el Scotto Posted July 10, 2023 Share Posted July 10, 2023 Hello all, sorry for the intrusion if unwarranted, but I am trying to determine the provenance of this gauge. I purchased for another vehicle that it most definitely was not for and in my searching bears resemblance to the Packard I suggested in the title. Earlier Packards had an oil level gauge of sorts and was thinking perhaps this was an option? Many thanks! Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earl B. Posted July 13, 2023 Share Posted July 13, 2023 It's not from a 1932 Packard. No idea what it goes to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HH56 Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 I don't know which years but didn't the Packards that had a remote reading oil level function share the fuel gauge? Believe I read that the operator moved a toggle switch under the dash edge to select which reading was being displayed. The switch was moved when oil level reading was desired and it sent the oil level instead of fuel signal to the gauge which had abbreviated markings as a minimal dual scale for the oil.

Owen_Dyneto Posted July 15, 2023 Share Posted July 15, 2023 Definitely NOT a 1932 Packard gauge. HH56's description of the 1932 Packard oil level indicator is correct, it's within the fuel gauge and activated by a small button under the lower dash edge.
